> However, we are now offered another tempting way to cede control over our computing: Service as a Software Substitute (SaaSS). Don't agree with this bit. You are ceding control of your data for sure, but this isn't quite the same as running a proprietary piece of software on your machine which you have no idea what it's doing. Ceding control of data is also worrisome I agree, but giving control of your data to a custodian you trust in exchange for said custodian promising its careful curation is a trade-off that most people would find acceptable. Some won't, and I respect that, but the advocacy above might be counterproductive to most people who take it and try hosting their own email servers.
